~ 2018 ~ Best Live Theater Venue

Popejoy Hall University of New Mexico

Built in 1965 this still-regal live performance venue is the closest thing ABQ has to a Broadway stage. Speaking of Broadway Popejoy is often host to Tony Award-winning touring shows such as Wicked and Rent plus live musical acts from Jack White to Albuquerque’s very own The Shins. The theater on the UNM campus boasts nearly 2000 seats and sits conveniently adjacent to a sizeable parking structure.
